Changes in Cardiotrophin-1 and Fibroblast Growth Factor-21 with Weight Loss
(2009-11-18)
The purpose of this investigation was to examine the effects of modest weight loss on circulating concentrations of cardiotrophin-1 (CT-1) and fibroblast growth factor-21 (FGF-21) in obese men. Nine obese men (age = 41.5 ...
Oxidative Stress and Antioxidant Defenses in Lymphocytes Following High Intensity Interval Training
(2009-12-16)
A substantial body of evidence suggests strenuous exercise causes perturbations to the immune system and increases the formation of reactive oxygen species. Performing routine moderate exercise stimulates the immune system, ...
Influence of Various Thong Style Flip-flops on Gait Kinematics and Lower Leg Electromyography
(2009-09-09)
Flip-flops are a common footwear choice for the masses. This influx of flip-flop usage is in despite of the plethora of anecdotal evidence and consensus among the health field that flip-flops are not conducive to the ...
Cardiovascular autonomic modulation following maximal exercise: Its relationship to race, VO2max, and resting heart rate variability
(2009-04-13)
The purpose of this dissertation was to provide a better understanding of post maximal exercise cardiovascular autonomic function and its relationship to race, VO2max and resting heart rate variability. Heart rate variability ...
Muscle oxygenation does not affect the prior exercise effect
(2009-08-03)
The controlling factors responsible for the "turn-on‟ of oxidative phosphorylation at the onset of exercise (VO2 on-kinetics) are controversial. Current hypotheses center on delayed O2 delivery, the build-up of respiratory ...
